Two segments of Federal Highway 15D (México-La Marquesa and Guadalajara-Tepic) are among the top five most expensive toll roads in Mexico, according to a 2016 analysis by Carmatch.

In 2014, a concession was awarded to GIA+A and Invex Infraestructura to build a 34.2-kilometre (21.3 mi) bypass of Ciudad Obregón,[7] which circles around the city to the north and east.

[9] In 2015, a consortium of IDINSA, Constructora MAS and PRIMEX was selected to build a bypass of Hermosillo, with an expected completion date at the end of 2017.

Southbound entry ramp not complete and requires travelling westbound on Blvd Morales (Bv Gustavo Mazon Lopez) and making a U-turn.

Highway 1D does not take on the federal designation until west of Culiacán, at which time the Autopista Mazatlán-Culiacán, operated by IDEAL, begins.

Travelers can access the road via the Libramiento de Culiacán, which begins at Highway 1D and costs 30 pesos for cars,[13] or by heading south on Av.

The two roads meet at Costa Rica, taking a southeast trajectory past La Cruz de Elota, Dimas and Mármol toward Mazatlán.

The bypass is 32 kilometres (20 mi) in length, with eight interchanges and provision for two additional spurs, as well as one oasis;[15] it costs 44 pesos to drive.

[18] The Mazatlán-Tepic highway was constructed in multiple phases, all but one completed prior to the current concession and two built by the Secretariat of Communications and Transportation.

The Libramiento de Tepic was formally inaugurated by President Enrique Peña Nieto in February 2017[20] and costs cars 55 pesos to travel.

[23] The RCO stretch begins at Mexican Federal Highway 90D near Zapotlanejo, intersecting the Macrolibramiento Sur De Guadalajara.
